Hi again, it's me and as you may already know I have another G.T project that I want to share with you. So, it's called Geometric Portraits. I wont really get into what it is right now but I will in just a minute. So, when dealing with portraits we are talking about the different facial expressions we have and if they are universal or not. So in my opinion I think that facial expressions are a little bit of both, universal and taught. First off I think that they are universal because when searching up facial expressions from around the world I noticed that most of the different emotions come out pretty similar on their faces from all over the world. However, say you were smiling for a picture, in the U.S you are taught to smile big and look happy, however when you see pictures from different parts of the world you may notice that some of them are not smiling and are just looking at the camera and that is how some people are taught. So, that's just what I think but you may have a different opinion.

Okay now, here comes the part where I explain, step-by-step, how to complete this project. You know just in case you want to make one. It is pretty simple however it does take up a lot of your time. So first off you take an image, note that if you want an easy one you should take a symmetrical photo so that you really only need to half of the picture then just flip it. You have to turn on the grid on your photo before you start the next step. So you get that into photoshop and then you take the line tool which is the third to last tool in your photoshop tool bar. You then take that tool and trace the outline of your head making sure that you end each line at a horizontal or vertical line in the grid. You take the lasso tool and select each one of those triangles and then fill them in using the filter>blur>average. That is how you make a poly portrait.

There are definitely other ways to do that though. You have to get an app to complete the easier way. However there are some cons to doing it the easy way. It ends up not being as realistic and you cannot see your face as well. Also, there are really no ways to customize your project. There are also cons to doing it the harder way which is that it takes a lot more time. That is some info, on our latest project, Geometric Portraits.
